R¹ =H or an optionally substituted C₁ -C₄ -alkyl or cycloaliphatic radical, and

R² =R¹ or an optionally substituted benzyl, naphthyl or hetaryl radical, an optionally substituted phenyl radical which is free of SO₃ H or SO₂ X groups, or an optionally substituted amino group.

Examples of radicals Y are: OSO₃ H, SSO₃ H, OCOCH₃, OPO₃ H₂, OSO₂ CH₃, SCN, NHSO₂ CH₃, Cl, Br, F, OCOC₆ H₅ OSO₂ --C₆ H₄ --CH₃, N(CH₃)₃.sup.⊕ Cl.sup.⊖.

Examples of pyrimidine radicals W of the formula (2) are: 2,4-dichloro-6-pyrimidinyl, 2,4,5-trichloro-6-pyrimidinyl, 2-fluoro-4-pyrimidinyl, 2,4-dichloro-5-cyano-6-pyrimidinyl, 2,4-dichloro-5-methylsulphonyl-6-pyrimidinyl, 2,6-difluoro-5-chloro-4-pyrimidinyl, 2,6-difluoro-5-methyl-sulphonyl-4-pyrimidinyl, 2,6-difluoro-4-pyrimidinyl, 5-chloro-2-fluoro-6-methylsulphonyl-4-pyrimidinyl, 2,5-dichloro-6-fluoro-4-pyrimidinyl and 6-fluoro-5-chloro-4-pyrimidinyl radicals.

Suitable substituents for the radicals R¹ and R² are in particular OH, Cl, Br, F, CN, CO₂ H, SO₃ H, OSO₃ H, C₁ -C₄ -alkoxy, C₁ -C₄ -alkyl, N(CH₃)₂, NHCOCH₃ SO₂ X and SO₂ X-substituted C₁ -C₄ -alkoxy, the phenyl radicals being free of SO₃ H and SO₂ X groups.

Preference is given to fibre-reactive azo dyestuffs of the formulae ##STR4##

Particular preference is given to dyestuffs of the formulae ##STR5## wherein X' denotes vinyl or CH₂ CH₂ OSO₃ H and

Z³, Z⁴ independently of each other denote Cl or F.

Of particular note are dyestuffs of the formulae (8) to (16) in which ##STR6## where R¹ and R² have the meaning indicated in the formula (1): ##STR7## Of the dyes (8) to (16), those where R² =R¹ are very generally preferred.

The new dyestuffs are suitable for dyeing and printing hydroxyl- and amido-containing materials, in particular cellulose materials. They are notable for a high reactivity and a high degree of fixation. The dyeings or prints obtainable with these dyestuffs on cellulose materials are also notable for a high fibre-dyestuff bond stability and for an excellent stability to oxidizing agents, such as peroxide- or chlorine-containing detergent compositions. The wash-off properties in respect of the hydrolysis products, formed only to a small extent in the course of dyeing or printing, are excellent. The dyestuffs have good wet fastness properties.

The dyestuffs according to the invention are accessible by the methods of preparation customary in the synthesis of reactive dyestuffs.

For instance, by diazotization of amines of the formula ##STR8## and coupling of the resulting diazonium compounds with hydroxynaphthalenesulphonic acids of the formula (18) ##STR9##

The intermediates (18) are prepared for example by condensing aminonaphthol-monosulphonic or -disulphonic acids or (aminobenzoyl)aminonaphthol-monosulphonic or -disulphonic acids at the amine function by known methods (for example EP 40 806, DOS 27 11 150, EP 172 790, DOS 27 47 011) with trifluorotriazine and reacting the resulting difluorotriazinyl compounds with amines HNR¹ R² in the presence of acid-binding agents or else condensing them with halogen-containing pyrimidines (cf. EP 69 703, DOS 2 623 252, EP 133 843).

Details are revealed in the Examples the which follow. Examples of the diazo components (17) are:

2-amino-6-(2-sulphatoethylsulphonyl) (or vinylsulphonyl)naphthalene-1-sulphonic acid

2-amino-5-(2-sulphatoethylsulphonyl) (or vinylsulphonyl)naphthalene-1-sulphonic acid

2-amino-5-(2-sulphatoethylsulphonyl) (or vinylsulphonyl)naphthalene-1,7-disulphonic acid.

A further way of preparing the dyestuffs of formula (1) consists in subjecting the conventionally (by diazotization and coupling) prepared dyestuff of the formula ##STR10## at the amine function either to condensation with trifluorotriazine and subsequently with amines HNR¹ R² or else to reaction by known methods with halogen-containing pyrimidines.

The indicated formulae are those of the free acids. The preparation generally gives the salts, in particular the alkali metal salts, such as sodium, potassium or lithium salts.

EXAMPLE 1

44.2 g of the monosodium salt of 2-amino-6-(2-sulphatoethyl)sulphonyl-1-naphthalenesulphonic acid are suspended in 300 ml of water and 30 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid and admixed with 100 g of ice. At 5° to 10° C. 25 ml of a 30% strength sodium nitrite solution are added speedily and stirred for 30 minutes. The excess nitrite is removed by addition of a few ml of amidosulphuric acid solution. This diazotization mixture is metered into a neutral solution of 58.7 g of a compound of the formula ##STR11## in 300 ml of water while the pH is maintained at a constant 7.0 to 7.5 with 20% strength sodium carbonate solution. This is followed by one hour of stirring, salting out with 70 g of sodium chloride and filtering off with suction. Drying leaves 112 g of a dark red powder.

The isolated dyestuff has the formula ##STR12## and dyes cotton in a brilliant bluish red shade (λ_(max) =520; 542 nm (in H₂ O).

EXAMPLE 2

Replacing in Example 1 the reactive-group-containing coupling component by the corresponding ortho-linked (2-aminobenzoyl)amino derivative affords a likewise useful red reactive dyestuff of the formula ##STR13##

EXAMPLE 3

Using in Example 1 instead of the diazo component 2-amino-6-(2-sulphatoethyl)sulphonyl-1-naphthalenesulphonic acid in this case 2-amino-5-(2-sulphatoethyl)sulphonyl-1-naphthalenesulphonic acid the result is a dyestuff of the formula ##STR14##

The method of synthesis of Example 1 can also be used to prepare the following fibre-reactive bluish red dyestuffs: ##STR15##

EXAMPLE 7

31.8 g of 8-amino-1-hydroxy-3,6-naphthalenedisulphonic acid are condensed at 40° to 45° C. and pH 4.0 to 5.5 with 22 g of 2,4,5,6-tetrachloropyrimidine, and the condensation product is coupled at pH 6 to 7 in the presence of potassium hydrogen carbonate with the diazonium compound prepared analogously to Example 1 of 2-amino-6-(2-sulphatoethyl)sulphonyl-1-naphthalenesulphonic acid. Isolating and drying leaves a dyestuff of the formula ##STR16## which dyes cotton in bluish red shades (544 nm).

The same method is also used to synthesize the dyestuffs of Examples 8 to 34 below.

EXAMPLE 35

34.1 g of the monosodium salt of 1-hydroxy-8-aminonaphthalene-3,6-disulphonic acid are suspended in 150 ml of water under an N₂ protective gas atmosphere and dissolved by the addition of 7.7 g of 2-(N-methylamino)ethanol (pH 6.5). 5 g of sodium fluoride are added, and the solution is cooled to 0° C. by the addition of 100 g of ice. 8.8 ml of trifluorotriazine are added, and the pH drops to 4.5. The pH is maintained at a constant 4.5 with about 5 ml of 20% strength sodium carbonate solution. After 10 minutes at 0° to 5° C. the pH is raised in the course of a further 10 minutes to 6.5 to 7.0 by the dropwise addition of sodium carbonate solution. Thereafter the twofold condensation product of the formula ##STR28## crystallizes out. Into this mixture is then metered the diazonium compound prepared analogously to Example 1 of 2-amino-6-(2-sulphatoethyl)sulphonyl-1-naphthalenesulphonic acid, and the pH is maintained at a constant 6.5 to 7.5 with sodium carbonate solution. The dyestuff which has the structure ##STR29## is salted out with 70 g of sodium chloride and 70 g of potassium chloride, isolated and dried. It dyes cotton in brilliant bluish red shades (λ_(max) =518; 544 (sh) nm).

EXAMPLE 103

31.9 g of 1-hydroxy-8-aminonaphthalene-3,6-disulphonic acid are dissolved in 400 ml of water to give a neutral solution. At 0° to 5° C. 8.8 ml of trifluorotriazine are added, and a pH of 4.0 to 4.5 is maintained by addition of 20% strength sodium carbonate solution. After 5 minutes 15.5 g of 4-(2'-hydroxyethoxy)aniline are added, and the reaction mixture is maintained at 10° C. for 10 minutes until the reaction has ended. The resulting reaction mixture of the compound of the formula ##STR52## is coupled at 5° C. with a diazonium salt suspension prepared according to Example 1 of 2-amino-6-(2-sulphatoethyl)sulphonyl-1-naphthalenesulphonic acid. At the same time the pH is maintained at 7.0 to 7.5 with sodium carbonate solution. The dyestuff of the formula ##STR53## is salted out, filtered off with suction, dried and ground. The dark red dyestuff powder dyes cotton in a brilliant bluish red (546 nm).

By varying the coupling component or the amine component the procedure of Example 103 makes it possible to obtain the dyestuffs of the following Examples 103 to 138:
